15. ...and it may become the norm from here on out.

Now that Twitter is starting to exhibit a little backbone, and isn't such a sure vehicle for spewing his lies unchallenged, screw them. But he's gotta keep THE NAME out there! So, have "press conferences" where no questions are asked or answered -- bypassing those troublesome Nasty People. Win-win, right?

Not quite. Trouble is, the more people see of him, the more they're repulsed by him.

He's doing this in time for the stock market to react to it, and a whole weekend of people talking about it. He must feel the need for distractions badly. Wonder why?

How does he think we are going to get the info or help needed. The world are going to seriously cut us off soon.

He is effectively handing over control and power by pulling this shit.

He realize's the end is coming soon for him, so like he does in business he will do things until he's gone to intentionally hurt this country for revenge for him losing. He's just starting too.

13. The distraction factor aside - can he actually do this simply by decree?

Is there any legislation involved - like appropriating the funding or something?

Can the decision be taken to court by some entity?

Are there no other choices but to just let him get away with this?
